12-7 CU 30 MILS XLPO XHHW-2 SOLONONplus VW-1 1000V BLACK
Application & Features
Southwire’s 600 Volt or 1000 Volt SOLONONplus™ Type XHHW-2 cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, and aerially when supported by a messenger. These cables are ideal for use in establishments where low smoke and low acid emissions are desired for public safety and health and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.
a. The conductors are available in tinned and flexible copper stranding upon request.
b. NEC compliant
c. The halogen content is less than 0.2% and Acid gas less than 2.0%
d. Passes UL VW-1
e. 70,000 BTU/Hr. Vertical Flame Test
f. UL listed for CT use on 1/0 and Larger
g. UL listed FT4/IEEE 1202 and ST-1 (#2 and larger)
h. -40°C Cold impact and cold bend
i. Oil Resistant I and II
j. UV/Sunlight resistant
k. Color Available upon request
l.PRI oil resistance at 60°C
m.PRII oil resistance at 75°C
n.GRI gasoline and oil resistance
o.GRII gasoline and oil resistance
p. REACH & RoHS compliant
q. Listed and marked HAL-FREE (Halogen Free) per CSA 2556-15
r. Living Building Challenge™ (LBC) Red List Free
